Chapter 66: Autumn is far away
readx;
Yunyang looked at Zhao Yuan's smiling eyes, his face turned red, and he defended: "If you want to say that the most important thing to repay is naturally the emperor." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe emperor has gone to danger several times for me with a body of ten thousand gold, which is really my sin. ā
Zhao Yuan put it in her ear and said, "Don't say such things between you and me." ā
His voice was already low, and when it rang in his ears, he could hear a rustling guttural sound, like a charcoal fire burning on a winter night, hissing, incomparably warm, incomparably reassuring.
This time, Yunyang didn't dodge, but turned his head to look at him.
It was the first time to look at him so closely, to see his thick black sword eyebrows, like ink, to see his straight nose, like an axe to cut a knife, to see his thin mouth mirage, like honey wrapped in fire......
Yun Yang raised his hand and stroked the faint fine lines at the corners of Zhao Yuan's eyes, as if he had infinite pity...... In the end, she obediently leaned against Zhao Yuan's chest and quietly listened to his heartbeat.
Her reaction made Zhao Yuan a little surprised, and his heart swelled with satisfied joy. They snuggled up like this, and no one spoke. But Zhao Yuan could hear from Yun Yang's uneven breathing that she was on her mind.
Sure enough, after a while, Yunyang said quietly: "I hope the emperor knows that my heart, just like the emperor has never changed for me." ā
Her tone was very ethereal, and a little helpless, not like a confession but like a farewell.
Zhao Yuan frowned slightly: "What happened to you?" Why can't you talk to me? ā
Yunyang's heart tightened, and he secretly thought: "This matter is meant to be told to you, but the result after saying it is unpredictable, let's let this moment be late for a day." ā
She shook her head lightly and said, "Please also ask the emperor to understand my heart." ā
Zhao Yuan saw that she refused to say, but he didn't insist on asking, and while holding her tightly, his eyes became more and more cold.
After Yunyang left, Zhao Yuan returned to Siyongzhai. He called Liu Fuquan over and said, "You will check Princess Yunyang's whereabouts in the past month and see who is in contact with her." ā
Liu Fuquan got such an inexplicable task, but he didn't say it, but he laughed a little in his heart: "The emperor favors this princess of the Song Kingdom, and it is really to the point of being fascinated." ā
"Isn't the emperor the most aware of who the princess has been in contact with this month? The two of you went from outside the palace, to the palace, from the palace, to the outside of the palace, the emperor was a hero along the way to save the beauty, chivalrous and soft-hearted, and had a lot of addiction. ā
"How do you find out about this? You can't check back and forth, and find out the emperor's head, right? It's not an easy errand! Liu Fuquan lowered his head, pursed his lips secretly, and prepared to retire.
"Wait," Zhao Yuan may have realized something, he tapped his knee with his fingers, "You go and check carefully about Cui Qi, the pen of the Golden Stone Bureau, and the two hundred households in the Imperial Forest Army, Li Tan and Wang Dai." ā
Liu Fuquan received the order, and when he went out, he was relieved, thinking: "This errand is easier to do, and some can be checked." You can put that one away. ā
After Liu Fuquan left, Zhao Yuan approved two excerpts, and his thoughts fluctuated in his heart. He closed the fold in his hand, spread out a white snow xuan, and wrote a block letter of "Song".
Looking at the ink on the paper that had not dried, Zhao Yuan faintly made some judgments in his heart: "The Hanyang harem has never been as deferential and gentle as it seems on the surface, and it is actually a place where all parties in the previous dynasty competed. ā
"Yunyang has been inextricably linked to me since he appeared in Luoyang. Coupled with my sincerity towards her, it is natural that there are officialdom veterans who can sniff out opportunities that can make huge profits in the meantime. ā
Another point is that her surname is Song. Although she is the only one left in the Song family, the influence of the Song family in the Zhu family is still far-reaching. In these Zhu Guo families, the tablets of the Song family were to be placed in the temple for worship. ā
"This is not only because the Song family has been flourishing for more than a thousand years, but also because when King Zhou divided the Zhu Kingdom, he originally planned to let the Song family dominate, but was rejected by the ancestors of the Song family. Not only that, but the Song family also fought for more fertile land and more strong people for other Zhuguo families. ā
"It can be said that without this move of the ancestors of the Song family, there would not be other Zhuguo families who would have lived aristocratic lives for thousands of years later."
"Back then, in order to thank the Song family for everything they had done, the Zhuguo family swore together that no matter what the power of the Song family was in the future, even if there was only one person left, they would give this person a chance and let him make a request."
"No matter what this request is, all the Pillar Country families must agree unconditionally. Because the place of the oath is in Dansan, this covenant is also called the 'Dansan Alliance'. ā
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan clenched his hands into fists and tapped the bookcase: "It can be said that whether it is those treacherous politicians in the court or the forces from the Zhuguo family, they are all eyeing Yunyang. ā
"If Yunyang's desire to speak today is because of these, it can only be said that she was negligent and did not give her better protection and let other forces threaten her."
"Of course, there is another possibility. Yunyang recommended Cui Qi and rewarded the two hundred households in the Imperial Forest Army, although the official position is very small, it seems that it is natural. But this is a masterful move. ā
"Maybe it's a hint to me that I should have something to do with her at the court. She was alone and followed me, and although I tried my best to take care of her, I could not think of her in everything. ā
"Since ancient times, if a concubine wants to live in the palace for a long time, she must rely on her mother's family. Yunyang's mother's family has no one left, and his adoptive father's family is that virtuous, so naturally he can't come and go, so there is only one way to support his cronies. ā
"Looking at the harem, although the queen's family is a small official, there is now King Alcohol to rely on, as well as a group of civil and military ministers around King Alcohol."
"Concubine Chen is the same, King Rui has outstanding military achievements and is sociable, and the people who come and go in his mansion will naturally not be less than that of King Alcohol. Therefore, Concubine Chen's status in the harem is also in full swing. ā
"Concubine Min entered the palace a little late, but she has a father who is a general, and now she has a son-in-law of a general. Although the horses were not able to mobilize more than 100,000 troops like the two princes, the military power in their hands should not be underestimated. ā
"I want to make Yunyang a concubine, this is just the first step, she wants to really sit in this position, and it may be difficult to achieve it without the help of people in the court. I wanted to arrange this matter carefully after returning to the palace, but she brought it up tactfully today, so I have to think about it. ā
Zhao Yuan put the imperial pen on the pen grid of the rhino horn carving lying lion on the golden pedestal, straightened his clothes, and walked to the window.
Pushing open the window, the remnant sun in the distance is burning, and there is no place to return, stopping at the two eyebrows. Nearby, the clouds press the back of the goose, the smoke locks the building, and the fog is unknown.
Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, if he climbed one more floor, he would be able to see through the fog in front of him and see through dozens of peaks.
"Simple days are always too short, and tomorrow I have to go back to Hanyang Palace. The apparent calm of the harem, which has been maintained for more than ten years, may soon be broken, and all interests will be redivided and re-established......"
Zhao Yuan looked at the mountains in the distance, and there was desolation in his eyes as if he understood everything.
